THE CINEMA AS A GRAPHIC ART Fig. 41. — Illustration by A. Benois to "The Brazen Horseman". He wandered on foot, And slept on the quay. , He lived On food passed through windows. His dilapidated clothing Tore and rotted on him. From these passages we can make the following obvious deductions. Eugen is in a state of temporary aberration. He is inclined towards unstable activity he reacts neurasthenically to every outward provocation. He is pursued by th< memory of his past experience. Pushkin describes his appearance in the following words : And so his unhappy years He dragged away, nor beast nor man, Nor this nor that, nor inhabitant of the World, nor dead spectre. . . . He is dressed in torn, rotting clothing (" His dilapidated clothing tore and rotted on him "). He wears dirty worn-out bast shoes (" all day he wanderec on foot "). His face is pale and haggard (" slept on the quay," " lived on food passed through windows "). He is wearing a shabby cap (" He removed his shabby cap," we read elsewhere in the poem). These are all the clues the poerc gives us concerning Eugene's dress and appearance. The scene of action : Eugene arrives at the Senate Square in Petersburg. 70
